Biomass to Replace Coal
Replacing coal with biomass as fuel? It could happen soon, thanks to the development of a technology that transforms biomass into biocoal. In Québec, this innovative process has been developed by Airex Energy, which opened the very first demonstration plant in Canada in December 2015 in Bécancour. Biocoal is made by torrefying biomass. In short, residual biomass (forestry, ...

How to Set Up Biomass Wood Pellets Production Line
The wood pellets production technology goes this way: 1. Raw material crushing Process: usually wood chips, logs or timber, etc. must be crushed before pelletization. The reason is that these wood raw materials are large pieces and can’t be pelletized directly. This process will need wood chipper and hammer mill. 2. Crushed material sieving process: sometimes the raw materials have ...
